The term "freestanding" leaves a funny picture in my mind. I can just picture a guy relaxing on a 2'x6' deck 2 feet in the air all by itself after the camper has driven off somewhere.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Free standing and unattached to the camper, truck or trailer.

...we've hunted for pre-made stand-alone decks (out of aluminum) quick assembly, packed in compact case. They exist, but a fairly expensive, and made by only a handful of metal artisans in the US.

Have you got pics?

Cheers,

Mine doesn't stand alone but a friend designed my little "deck" that bolts onto my truck bumper and I don't have to disconnect my horse trailer when camping. My scissor steps attach on the side.
